Undergraduate researchers are encouraged to submit abstracts with an accompanying letter of support from the sponsoring faculty. The “Call for Abstracts” and the “Application to Participate” are available on the Web (www.uga.edu/honors/curo).

The “Volunteer Dawgs” are M.B.A. students who provide help with their time, hands and hearts. They can also assist organizations with business plan creation, marketing and finance issues.
